Re: Bug#576242: gdb: Please support Renesas SH(sh4)
Hi!
We're currently working on improving SuperH support in Debian and Linux
in general since the architecture is currently being redeveloped as an
open source architecture called J-Core [1]. J-Core supports the SH-2
instruction set only, but it's expected to extend to SH-3 and SH-4
in the future. Hence, having working native SH support for gdb on Linux
would be very desirable.

This would actually the first and most important thing to do. I have
tried contacting Takashi YOSHII but so far I had no success. One that
could help would be Nobuhiro Iwamatsu, so I put him in CC. There is
also Yutaka Niibe whom we can ask.
